An Attempt for statistical Analysis: Porn in the World

It will be quite impossible to tabulate the exact statistical data and the influence of pornography today. However, to grasp the influence of the same let us analyse the use of porn that is said to have been reported in one of the porn sites as of 2017. In 2016, people watched 4.6 billion hours of pornography in just one website (the biggest porn site in the world). That’s 524,000 years of porn or, in other words, around 17,000 complete lifetimes. In that same time, people watched 92 billion videos (or an average of 12.5 for every person on earth). At age 11, an average child has already been exposed to explicit pornographic content through the internet. 93% of boys and 62% of girls are exposed to internet-based pornography during their adolescent years and 22% of the vast quantities of porn consumed by people aged under 18 is consumed by those aged less than 10. 57% of young adults admit to seeking out porn at least once per month. 46% of men admit the same. Meanwhile, 49% of young adults say that most or all of their friends use porn on a regular basis. 96% of young adults are either encouraging, accepting, or neutral in their view toward pornography. (17% talk about porn in a positive way, 43% in an accepting way as if it’s just a reality of life in this world, while 36% don’t consider the morality of it at all.) That leaves only a tiny minority who consider it a negative thing. Only 1 in 20 young adults say their friends consider porn a bad thing. 61% of pornography is watched on a mobile phone. In the United States that is as high as 70%. However, it is more alarming to see a change in definition of porn itself. 70% of teens and young adults define porn by its function, not its form. Pornography is not defined first as nudity or even presentations of sexuality, but as anything intended to bring about sexual arousal.

The desire for pornographic material among the people of all ages has made pornography one of the most profit-oriented industries in the world.
